New study finds GHG emissions from palm oil production significantly underestimated; palm oil biofuels could be more climate-damaging than oil sands fuels

Green Car Congress

Based on visual interpretation of high-resolution (30 m) satellite images, a new study in the journal Global Change Biology: Bioenergy determined that industrial plantations covered over 3.1 Slightly more than half of the GHG emissions for these biofuels in the EPA’s analysis came from land use change.

The importance of considering non-exhaust traffic emissions; the role of EVs

Green Car Congress

Accordingly, there have been a number of recent studies working to assess the impact of non-exhaust emissions from EVs and suggesting a regulatory or policy response (e.g., A 2014 study by Weinbruch et al. Compared to earlier studies, Weinbruch et al. earlier post ). Background. The pan-European team of van der Gon et al.
